What is galactosemia

summary

Galactosemia belongs to genetic disease, belongs to metabolic disease, once the disease, the harm is very serious. Let's see what galactosemia is.

What is galactosemia

First, galactosemia is a toxic clinical metabolic syndrome with increased blood galactose. Congenital defects of any of the three enzymes involved in galactose metabolism can lead to galactosemia. After the disease, we should actively find the cause, so as to better solve.

Secondly, galactosemia is a congenital metabolic disease with autosomal recessive inheritance. The activities of the three enzymes related to galactose metabolism in heterozygotes are about 1 / 2 of those in normal individuals, while those in homozygotes are significantly decreased.

Finally: classical galactosemia occurs in the second step of galactose metabolism, which is an autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by the accumulation of its precursor 1-phosphate-galactose. Liver, kidney, lens and brain are the main organs involved.

matters needing attention

Patients are suitable to eat some low sugar, light, high calorie food, such as venison, sesame, pumpkin seed, cooked chestnuts and other food, these foods contain less sugar, will not let lactose in the body to get aggregation, leading to disease is induced.
